Actually i am coming from 3d animation background so I do not know Photoshop very deeply however I had to learn some retouching technique for my Advanced Digital Imaging subject. Our project was retouching two model’s face.

Actually I really wanted work with on abstract retouching project but I work on three different project so I do not enough time for so munch things to do.

This is my learning process so I started to search some good tutorial on the web I found so many good places for example

I started to new experimental project for Design Skill subject. Project was designing three different emotion symbols. After selected my three emotion, I started to visual research however every image or design make me confuse. I kept continue to most of time visual research and some very bad sketching

these are my final designs. I am happy for all of them but they are too complex from symbol so i think i failed from this aspect. I should simplify all designs but i had to finish in scheduled time period. I learn one thing you can reflect your idea perfectly with your design however important thing is you have to stick your project description.

I shoot four different angle for this project with different exposures setting. Because I need to balanced indoor and outdoor lighting. So I started with -2 exposure for getting outdoor lighting and I finished +2 exposure for all indoor details

I selected one shoot of them for editing and I imported all of them to raw editor.

I masked all windows and exterior columns for blending all different exposure imagesI also use layer mask for floor and interior columns for smooth transition between imagesThis is my final result

This is second week practice of advanced image subject. Main aim is try to understand Raw image’s advantages and resetting all default parameters with Raw image editor. I use one of Frank Doorhof’s Raw file and I change little bit light and color after then I balanced everything in Photoshop. Actually it was very useful week for understand the raw files capabilities and how it can be save your life.

This is first week experiment with Photoshop’s layer mask and composting tools. Actually I did very quickly so i am not happy to final result however I got some powerful Photoshop tricks. For example refine edge tool. I was only use this tool for getting good mask result but i have never use it for hair masking. I always use Verstus Fluid Mask but now I know i do not need this plugin any more refine edge tool already does this job.

I combine this two images together and add a little bit color and text.
